Book Review of The Stranger

The Stranger
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


Easily one of my favorite books. It was required reading in my high school French class, and so I struggled through it, of course missing most of the meaning. I picked up the English translation a few years later. This time I was left with a raw feeling inside, now better understanding Meursault. It's hard to describe the appeal of the book, but it has definitely been an eye-opener for me, in more ways than one.
